Where did the time go?

Wow. I can't believe it's been over a month since I had Madelyn. My life has changed so much yet I feel like I have had this life for so long I don't remember another time. I am slowly but surely regaining some of my "me time" so there should be more blogging in the future including a letter to Madelyn for her 1 month birthday.

This parenting thing is hard. I know that I'm making the best decisions I can regarding my daughter, but every single day I second guess myself. I know it's the lack of sleep (which I'm happy to say is quickly mending itself) and the sheer stress of having a new baby. I've tried very hard not to "spoil" her but she loves to be held and I just can't let her cry forever so we hold her. She does well for short periods of time on her own, but sometimes I think she just gets bored, can a 1 month old get bored already? I'm certain she can.

Next week I'm going back to work. It's going to be a difficult transition on both of us. Luckily it's part time and I can take her with me so it won't be too awful traumatic on me. I have separation anxiety worse than she ever will I think. I can't stand to be in one room while somebody is taking care of her in the other room. I might have a problem. I don't care. I love that little girl more than life itself and no sacrifice is too great for her.

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom.

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
